I didn't hear a single station senfing "/QRP". I did work two stations
who sent "5" as their power. I'm glad none sent "E".

Last couple hours of contest were fun. 20 and 40 were both rocking. I
wish I could've worked the T6 who was supposedly going to be on,
though. That would've been an alltime new one for me and would've put
me 5 away from #1 HR.
